Todd Howard has officially confirmed that the next chapter in the Fallout franchise is coming, but fans have a long time to wait. Before Fallout 5 comes out, Bethesda is hoping to release The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield. Starfield is set to launch in 2023, but The Elder Scrolls 6 is still in pre-production and may be a ways off. This means that Fallout fans are going to be left with almost nothing to turn to for years. The only option for new Fallout content may end up being Fallout 76; otherwise, they will have to replay one of the older titles.
The last single-player Fallout game came out in 2015, and the next Bethesda RPG will be launching in 2023. That is already an eight-year wait between major titles from Bethesda, and if The Elder Scrolls 6 follows that pattern, then it could release another seven to eight years after Starfield. Fallout 5 will be even longer afterwards which means that Fallout fans could be waiting for something new from their franchise for close to a decade. That is a very long wait and the studio needs to offer some type of Fallout content outside of Fallout 76 to help tide people over until then.

Players do not know just how long the wait for Fallout 5 will be, but it looks like it's going to be long. If there is no Fallout themed title that comes out in that time, then it could be the longest wait between Fallout games fans have ever had. The time between Bethesda Fallout titles has always been long, but this wait may take it to the next level, especially if no other studio makes a game in the universe in the meantime. The previous record for years between Fallout universe titles is five, and this will most likely beat that.
